If I had to choose just one vegetable to grow in my garden, it would be green beans. And since this article is entirely dedicated to green beans, I just have to tell you about my favorite.
Green beans are wonderful plants, bringing benefits to our body and to the soil in our garden. During my many years of growing green beans in my own garden, I have discovered some useful tricks for growing green beans.
Discover below 6 essential tips for growing green beans in your garden:
- Sow your beans directly.
Green beans do not grow well in the form of seedlings or transplants. It is best to sow them directly into the soil of your garden in the form of seed. Green beans should be sown when the soil temperature (not the air temperature) is at least 16°C. - Sow your beans overnight.
The day before you sow your green bean seeds, soak the seeds in room temperature water overnight. This will significantly speed up the germination process. However, if the weather forecasts rain for your area during your bean planting week, do not soak the seeds as they may rot. - Plant your beans where your crucifers were planted the previous year.
Beans are a great plant for crop rotation because they help fix nitrogen in the soil. It’s a good idea to plant them where members of the Brassicaceae family (cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts or cauliflower) were planted the previous year.
